The following article and photos come from About.com Guide to Collectibles and OKC resident Barbara Crews. My tremendous thanks to her for contributing. Also, see some other great Mother's Day gift ideas from Barbara.Looking for a perfect gift for Mother's Day for Mom or Grandma? Perhaps one that will bring a few tears when the gift is opened? Look no further than these hand castings from Dave Freeman, The Hand Man.
Dave has been doing these hand-crafted pieces for years, but this is the first time I've seen his display at a kiosk at Penn Square Mall. The teeny, tiny baby feet and the little baby hand curled into a fist just blew me away by the feelings evoked.
My mind was racing, my first thought was to get Eli's hand (grandson) done for his mom until I saw a grandparent and grandchild's hand clasped together. It was settled, that's what I would have done as a Mother's Day gift -- for myself!
